Pancake day

[Kikó]

How will you make them?
Lemon and sugar?
Cream and strawberries?
Maple syrup?

Discuss.

[Giggles]

Pancakes? You're surely more of a crepe type.

[Mike]

Had them last night cos we all went to my mums. I had blueberries and chocolate chips.

I'll be making them in work today. I'll have lemon and sugar,

[Adamski]

Crispy Pork Belly and chinese pancakes for lunch at this place near the office :cool:

[Kikó]

Middle class not French mate.

Nutella pancake. :nod:

[Adamski]

What you having on yours Giggles? Potatoes & bullets?

[Giggles]

What you having on yours Giggles? Potatoes & bullets?

That's at the bottom of the intelligence scale, even for one of your kind. Hang your head and have a long think.

I won't be having any pancakes, I had some on Friday and I don't fancy them again so soon.

[Clunge]

The future of pancake day is dosas.

[Spammer]

Gravy.

[Mazuuurk]

We eat these today in Sweden, not pancakes:

http://recept.se/sites/default/files/styles/article-image/public/semla_0.jpg?itok=EnQvKFDr


They are a bit shit really.

[Giggles]

What's the beige goo in them? An apple puree it is it an oatmeal type thing?

[Mazuuurk]

It's like Marispan gooey stuff, sometimes they stick some hazelnuts in that as well.


Edit: thats the traditional ones anyway. Since I'm shit and allergic to nuts, if I do get these (which I don't), you usually get vanilla custard sort of thing in them instead, which frankly is better anyway.

[Adamski]

What kind is that?

[Giggles]

What kind is that?

An Irish hating hun.

Look I know I dissed Mr Kiko and that's a sure fire way to set you off, but some day he's going to tire of you bouncing around yapping at his ankles and then the rest of us will be all you have. Be nice.

[Kikó]

Just not true. Let's keep this on topic and batter related.

[Giggles]

Just not true. Let's keep this on topic and batter related.

I read that as banter first :)

[niko_cee]

Had pancakes on Saturday with the aim of fleshing it out into a pancake week, which sort of fell flat on it's face when it later transpired that my youngest daughter has a reasonably serious egg allergy.

Lemon, sugar, cook some raisins into them maybe, or go for that biscuit paste.

[Giggles]

When I do have pancakes I like nothing at all on them as I quite like the taste of the batter mix. I like them to be thin too.

The thick ones you put in the toaster that are pre made, I like to butter them.

[Adamski]

Where did you diss Kiko? You don't half make up some strange little theories and stories in that head of yours.

[Offshore Toon]

Remember when Kikó called clothes washing 'washing up'? And he's still allowed to make threads? This place is going to shit.

Anyway, I had no idea it was pancake day and I'm not fussed either. Its alright if somebody else is making them but they're not worth the effort imo.

[Kikó]

Make it Offy. Do it for the board.

[Offshore Toon]

Last time I made pancakes I made them nice and thick and ate them with curry. It was stunning. Pretty sure pictures were put up on TTH, so you're not getting anything else pancake-related from me.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Giggles's perceived grievances are the best thing on here these days.

[Spoonsky]

Maple syrup is the only answer for pancakes. Particularly from Vermont. Fuck, now I want some.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I have maple syrup when I'm over there (so about once a decade) and suddenly the depth of crapness that is American civilisation makes sense. You don't have jam or marmalade. Or crumpets.

[Disco]

What's this 'jelly' they go on about then, I always assumed that was jam. Albeit probably crap as they insist on silly flavours like grape which isn't a flavour of anything other than actual grapes.

[Adamski]

Yeah I'm fairly sure they call jam jelly and for unknown reasons they call jelly JELLO.

[Disco]

The allocation of fruit based concoctions is confusing enough as it is.

[Spoonsky]

Jello is another thing entirely. You don't want to know about jello.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They may call jam jelly, but I've never encountered any 'jelly' over there. Admittedly my experience is restricted to diners on route 66, and those breakfast places in New York that kill children out the back and serve their flesh as 'pastrami' in a five foot sandwich.

[phonics]

When I've seen 'Jelly' it would be closer in texture to a Cranberry sauce than a Jam.

There is jam and marmalade, but it is a bit harder to find. Jelly is just nasty shit.

:D

[Pen]

That Giggles post made Adamski's one even better :D

We have the same as Maz's lot, but with jam instead of that gooey shit. Also I have maple syrup with bacon on my pancakes when I'm staying in a hotel with a decent breakfast. On Shrove Tuesday lemon and sugar all the way as you're having so many. Nutella is good too in moderation.

[Lewis]

Don't they call it 'jelly' because it doesn't have any actual fruit in?

[Giggles]

:D

Not following but go on, this should be good.

[Giggles]

Any time I got 'jelly' in the US it was just like a more set jam.

[Pepe]

Don't they call it 'jelly' because it doesn't have any actual fruit in?

Yes, I don't think there are supposed to be any fruit pieces in there.

https://johnandelana.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/creamcheese_02.jpg

[Disco]

What do they call jelly then if not 'jello'?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'll just smear some nutella in them although I'll be making American style with grated apple, blueberries and chocolate chips tomorrow for breakfast.

Also, in Poland they have 'Fat Thursday' where you just eat a fuckton of doughnuts. They win.

[Ian]

Some with sugar and lemon and some with honey will do me nicely.

[Boydy]

Do you all actually make them? How can you be arsed?

[Giggles]

Do you all actually make them? How can you be arsed?

They're not exactly hard. Or you can buy it in a bottle this time of year.

[mikem]

Jam and jelly are mostly interchangeable.
Difference is:
Jam is homemade and good.
Jelly is commercial and good only for horrible Elvis type sandwich crimes that should only be consumed when drunk or stoned.

Today is just depressing in the non-fat Tuesday Madris Gras world.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Do you all actually make them? How can you be arsed?

http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/fruit-recipes/one-cup-pancakes-with-blueberries/

That's the base I use for the 'American' style I'll be doing tomorrow morning, crepes are piss easy too.

[Adamski]

I don't like crepes. If it was a thin pancake I'd be game though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I don't like crepes. If it was a thin pancake I'd be game though.

Those aren't, they're thinner than American (no bicarbonate of soda or buttermilk) but thicker than a crepe.

On his TV show he also grated a pear/apple into the mix which is what I do as well as adding blueberries and chocolate chips.

[Mike]

Do you all actually make them? How can you be arsed?

For really simple ones just use milk, eggs flour. Mix them up and off you go.

The more fancy ones are better but they're better than nothing. It's what we use at work.

[Alex]

Gravy.

Take notes gentleman, because this is the correct answer.

[John]

It fucking is not. Hammer reckons they're just Yorkshire Puddings, are you aligning yourself with that.

[Raoul Duke]

I've had those Swedish things and the Polish doughnuts. Both decent.

I'm a classic lemon/raisin/sugar kinda guy, although I'm ok with blueberries, bananas and Speculoous. I fucking love Pancake Day :drool:

[John]

Genuinely misread that as 'Speculums' for a moment there and thought we had another Trancemeister situation unfolding.

[Baz]

This:

http://www.lotusbiscuits.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/spreads.png

:drool:

[Lewis]

You have to use half the jar of that to taste it.

[Baz]

Pancake day is once a year, so may as well use the whole jar.

[Giggles]

Pancake day is once a year, so may as well use the whole jar.

Do you only eat pancakes once a year?

[Raoul Duke]

You have to use half the jar of that to taste it.

WUT?

I'd get that checked out if I was you.

[mo]

What the hell is biscuit spread when its at home?

[Lewis]

It's basically the dust of those biscuits folded into oil, the latter of which lingers longest.

[Raoul Duke]

What the hell is biscuit spread when its at home?

It's the taste of true heaven, made manifest on Earth. Glorious stuff.

Don't listen to Lewis and his anti-Speculuuos fake news

[Lewis]

It's nice to eat out of the jar, but it's useless as a spread and you can still taste the greasiness long after the moreish biscuit taste has gone (although that could be down to quantity if you are just doing it out of the jar).

[Spammer]

It fucking is not. Hammer reckons they're just Yorkshire Puddings, are you aligning yourself with that.

I'm about 50% impressed and 50% concerned that you remember something like that from (at least) a year ago.

That said, I am right, and in your unilateral galaxy of wrongness I suppose it probably sticks out a lot.

It's them both having the exact same ingredients that gives it away, if you think about it ;)

Alex :cool:

[igor_balis]

I didn't have any because I couldn't be arsed. My mate made a load when I was round hers a few weeks ago, and that fulfilled my yearly quota anyway. Lemon and sugar is my favourite, but I quite liked this weird concoction she'd made with rum to have with them.

[igor_balis]

Listening to this a few times got me in the pancake spirit anyway, without the calorie hit.

Alex :cool:

Don't worry petal, you're not special. I just have a brilliant memory.

The fact that they have the same ingredients is irrelevant. They're cooked in completely different ways, so even if you made a batch of both poured from exactly the same mixing bowl the results would be such obviously different things that using the ingredients as a justification for smothering a pancake in gravy should, and will, see you lolled out of the room.

Try serving up a pancake next time you make a roast dinner and see how it goes down with your dinner guests.

[igor_balis]

When I skim read that I thought it said 'roast dinner...go down on your dinner guests' which would possibly be more plausible at the hammer house of horror.

[Offshore Toon]

I don't know which is weirder between Hammer eating pancakes with gravy and Hammer sucking off a tranny.

[Lewis]

I think the Americans have them with that filthy white 'gravy', so it sounds like a tragic bollocks attempt to replicate that, and probably pushed by the sort of wankers round here who think putting burgers between Yorkshire puddings makes their menu interesting.

[Spammer]

Try serving up a pancake next time you make a roast dinner and see how it goes down with your dinner guests.

So identical ingredients are irrelevant and it's all about how it's cooked. I guess with that in mind then, eggs are completely different from eggs.

[John]

No, but scrambled eggs are different from fried eggs are different from poached eggs are different from omelettes are different from boiled eggs. Boiling it down to things with one ingredient is so obviously stupid and obtuse that I'm not sure there's much point continuing, but are a fried egg sandwich and French toast the same thing?

Stow your idiocy for now and just let us know how you get on serving a pancake the next time you make a roast for friends.

[Disco]

John loses for calling it 'French Toast'. Who do you think you are, Mahow?

[John]

That's what it was called in my house growing up so even though I know now it's a fucking daft name for it it's still the first name that comes to mind.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It will always be 'eggy bread'.

[Spammer]

They'd probably find it quite funny, and so would I.

My point was in relation to gravy 'working' with both Yorkshire puddings and pancakes because it's basically the same thing done differently. Would ketchup work with scrambled eggs? Poached eggs? Boiled eggs? Omelettes? Fried egg sandwich? French toast? Because that's the kind of question that's actually analogous, you dingbat.

I love how seriously you take this place, it's amazing, and I love how much silly nonsense you remember about people. It's as though it all really means a lot to you. I assume it's people on here in general, and not just me. It's a little tragic though, because I doubt I'm alone in saying that I don't really remember anything about you at all. There's really nothing, other than that you're Scottish and you've got the brain thing. I only know you're Scottish because it's beneath your avatar and the brain thing because it sheds light on a lot of your tragic behaviour on here.

John :(

[Lewis]

There it is. SEETHING.

[Pepe]

Ketchup doesn't work on any type of eggs. Or on anything else, really, vile shit. It's ok with fries ocasionally.

French toast (with maple syrup, of course.) :drool:

[Pepe]

French toast with ketchup. :lol:

[Spammer]

That is the kind question to consider for a point of comparison, is all I'm saying :sorry:

[John]

Alternatively, I remember things because I have a really good memory. This place does mean a fair amount to me, and I'd be suspicious of anyone who claimed anything they'd been a part of for over half their lives didn't mean anything to them, but I don't see that as a negative and it says a lot about you that you seem to.

I'll give you the credit of assuming you see the irony in telling me you remember nothing about me before mentioning a catalogue of behaviour, but I'm interested to know what 'tragic' behaviour you're talking about, and how my life essentially having a ticking clock on it informs your view of that behaviour.

Go on, Hammer. Continue telling me how seriously I take this place while you're in the midst of a low level psychotic event over being told that gravy is inappropriate on a pancake.

[Spammer]

:D

'Low-level psychotic event'? Really? Tone can be missed in writing, I guess. I'm not sure where you've got that from though. My posts seem to be the more measured ones, to me :sorry:. You remembered something innocuous I'd said from yonks ago and it went from there. Pancakes aren't really that important to me, in honesty.

It's just the general impression that comes across, really. I really don't think I'm the one seething. Well, I know I'm not, because I'm just sat here typing normally. You just seem to be seething at everything, in honesty. I don't and can't know so for certain, obviously - I wouldn't even know for certain if I knew you personally. You can't even know for certain something about someone after having counselled them for weeks on end, for that matter. So I can't really answer. All I can do is give my perspective on it, and I've given that. My perspective is that you come across as extremely depressed and resentful. Again, I might be wrong, but that's how it seems to me.

[John]

The fucking state of that. :lol:

Have a read back over the thread and see who was the first of us to offer up a paragraph of ad hominem irrelevance, then think again about who was being more measured in their approach to the conversation. If you're just going to fall back on platitudinous nonsense when questioned on your assertions why bother making them in the first place?

[Spammer]

I read this thread immediately after reading the other one about TV quiz failures, where you randomly threw an ad hominem my way when I'd not even commented and was in no wat relevant to the thread. I think coming in here it felt like you were at it again, and so the tone was partly in response to that.

I don't think anything I've said is nonsense though.

[Boydy]

Let him have gravy on his pancakes if he wants. Jesus.

[John]

The teacher bloke in that thread looks a bit like you, and you'd already posted your hateful gravy preference in this thread so I was providing context for Alex when he agreed with you.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ketchup doesn't work on any type of eggs. Or on anything else, really, vile shit. It's ok with fries ocasionally.

French toast (with maple syrup, of course.) :drool:

Eggs and Tabasco/any hot sauce though :drool:

[Pepe]

Eggs and Tabasco/any hot sauce though :drool:

Agreed.

[Bam]

What's John's brain thing?

[Spammer]

The teacher bloke in that thread looks a bit like you

Oh, well that changes everything.


you'd already posted your hateful gravy preference in this thread so I was providing context for Alex when he agreed with you.

I can't be sure, but I personally doubt anyone would read the thread through and say it that I'm the one that's being hateful.

[Adamski]

What's John's brain thing?

It's an organ that serves as the central nervous system.

Not something you need to concern yourself with, bro.

[Adamski]

Oh, well that changes everything.



I can't be sure, but I personally doubt anyone would read the thread through and say it that I'm the one that's being hateful.

You weren't being hateful. You were however the one who lost their shit at being told their food preference didn't quite work for 95% of the board so swings and roundabouts.

[Baz]

Do you only eat pancakes once a year?Yes. On pancake day.

[Kikó]

It's an organ that serves as the central nervous system.

Arf. :D

[Spammer]

I really didn't lose my shit, and I'm not sure how you can know that :sorry:

This is all a bit tedious, so to bring to subject reasonably back on point: I didn't actually have pancakes this year. I might have some tonight though, with some lovely gravy :cool:

[Adamski]

If essentially calling someone who disagrees with you a manic depressive isn't you losing your shit then OK.

[Spammer]

I didn't call him manic depressive. What does being manic depressive have to do with anything? You know that that's different from standard depression, yeah?

I was pretty calm when writing it. I was talking about the resentment and hatefulness I seem to pick up on, and it was that which I was referring to. I disagree with lots of people on here and we're able to have pretty standard and pleasant conversations.

[Adamski]

Oh look at me! I did a course!

Pancakes and gravy is weird and you've seethed your way to this point, no one else.

[Spammer]

'I did a course'? What? :D

Who's seething, sorry?

[Adamski]

Anytime anyone mentions anything to do with mental illness then in rides captain patronising to explain it to us mere mortals.

You called someone depressed and resentful because they didn't like gravy on their pancakes mate, end of thread.

[Spammer]

Ok then :D

It's definitely me that's seething though, isn't it?

[Adamski]

Yeah.

Anyway let's leave it there. If this carries on any longer Bam won't know how to go back and see that zinger I gave him earlier.

EDIT: Too late :moop:

[John]

Oh, well that changes everything.

Are you really getting pissed off because I said someone in a video someone posted looked a bit like you? That's not a fucking ad hominem attack.


I can't be sure, but I personally doubt anyone would read the thread through and say it that I'm the one that's being hateful.

Right, you can't even parse simple sentences now. We'll call it a day here. I questioned pancakes and yorkshire puddings being the same thing, you went off on one about how much I care about the board, what my mental state is, and exactly how tragic I am. Shall we leave it summarised as such?

[Spammer]

I thought this was finished, but ok.


Are you really getting pissed off because I said someone in a video someone posted looked a bit like you? That's not a fucking ad hominem attack.

You said some spanner who said Mexico was a state in the USA could easily be related to me. I think it speaks for itself, but I read that just before coming in here, so I referenced it to explain where I was at.

The sentence reads well enough to me.

I wouldn't summarise it like that, but that's ok. We don't need to agree.

Because he looks like you. What he said is irrelevant.

I said the preference for gravy on pancakes was hateful, you seem to have parsed that as me saying you were being hateful. You were being hateful once you turned an inconsequential conversation about pancake toppings into an attack on my character, but that's not what I was saying with that post.

I think you were well aware of how it would most likely be read. I only referenced it, again, to give context to this thread. I read the comment as reference, but I just felt it brought the point home.

Let's call it a day, it's getting boring. I'm sure you have better things to do.

[John]

Not really. I'm on a train doing nothing but listening to a podcast for another thirty five minutes.

It was boring ages ago and would have been long done if you hadn't seen fit to go on a mad rant about my mental state, my tragic behaviour, and my apparently deadly fucking serious approach to this place.

[Spammer]

Let's just leave it :)

[Offshore Toon]

Why do you two always have to ruin Pancake Day?

[Spammer]

We're sorry :cry:

[Alex]

It fucking is not. Hammer reckons they're just Yorkshire Puddings, are you aligning yourself with that.

Gravy on pancakes is absolutely a thing in Yorkshire though. Maybe not the prevalent way of doing things, but I know of plenty of other people who eat them that way. Essentially everyone on my mothers side of the family for starters, and it's been that way as long I've been alive. I didn't even realise it was considered "weird" until I was an adult. So leave Hammer alone, you set of bastards.

Deep frying a Mars Bar isn't exactly my idea of a good time, and I'm sure it's not the preferred way of eating one in Scotland, but I'm not denying it's a valid method of consuming them.

Also, just to flip things around (and to fan the flames even more :D), jam on Yorkshire puddings (as a desert mind you, not mixed in amongst a roast) is not unheard of either. That's possibly more of an olden days type of thing though. I've seen my Uncle, who must be pushing seventy now, do it. He says it used to be a thing when he was a kid.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Most of these traditions date back to a time before Tony Blair when there was fuck all food around, so things like pancakes/gravy would just be a case of combining two of the four things you had at your disposal, the others being dripping and bitterness.

[Henry]

I had a pancake. And I've been subsequently told that I cannot eat meat today. Which means that I'm eating meat today.

[igor_balis]

God 0 - 1 Henry, take that Jesus!

[Baz]

What's everyone given up for Lent?

I've give up nothing because I'm already amazing. Plus I'm going watching wrestling next Friday so can't give up the beer, cos they sell it in two-pint cups.

[Pen]

Seethe seems to be the topping of choice for most this year.

[Spikey M]

Pancakes and gravy is quite clearly for dangerous, dangerous individuals. Probably the same scum that eat jam and cream with Yorkshire Puddings. Just get a scone, you mongs.

[Giggles]

Yes. On pancake day.

:D fucking hell.

[Spammer]

Alex knows the score :cool:

I had a brief idea to give up caffeine and then had a bitch of a day. 5 coffees and 1½ litres of Pepsi Max later and it was a no go.

[Lewis]

Everyone seems to be putting their Pepsi Max prices up round here. I bought some Coke Zero the other day to try and leave me with some options, but it tastes like nothing, so whatever I'll have to pay it.

[Giggles]

It's woeful stuff in comparison. There's still good deals around here on the Max in the little fat bottles and the big tins.

[Boydy]

Pepsi Max is fucking disgusting. Coke Zero is a million times better than it.

[Lewis]

I would take actual Coke over actual Pepsi any day of the week, but shut up you fanny.

[Giggles]

Pepsi Max is fucking disgusting. Coke Zero is a million times better than it.

Coke Zero is fizzy brown water. I'd rather the Cola Xero in Tesco (or the Aldi equivalent) if the Max can't be got. 2 litre bottles are a pain in the hole though as they're flat too quick.

[Spikey M]

Pepsi Max is fucking disgusting. Coke Zero is a million times better than it.

That's a bloody good joke there mate.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pepsi Max is fucking disgusting. Coke Zero is a million times better than it.

Boydy is a mother fucking prophet.

I've been considering writing a strongly worded letter to my University after they switched from Coke to Pepsi.

[Lewis]

You probably never go in the shop anyway because of the crowds and the 'females' on the tills.

[Disco]

Does nobody just drink Coke anymore?

[Offshore Toon]

Pepsi Max is obviously much, much better than Coke Zero.

I don't have a Coke/Pepsi preference. It just depends what I fancy at the time. They taste quite different.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You probably never go in the shop anyway because of the crowds and the 'females' on the tills.
I actively go to 'female' till operators.

Hard work for my antiperspirant but it makes me feel like I'm achieving something.

[Giggles]

Does nobody just drink Coke anymore?

I think all the Cole drinkers are drinking the green one now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think all the Cole drinkers are drinking the green one now.

'Life' is by far the worst.

It tastes like bile.

[Giggles]

Horrid stuff.

[Lewis]

It strikes me as pointless, seeing as they offer actual low calorie/sugar alternatives. Why would you bother with the half-way bollocks?

[Giggles]

That's it. I don't mind eating shit because there's no nice tasting alternatives to most things but there's no point in drinking all the sugar when the ones without it taste the same or better.

[Pen]

Does nobody just drink Coke anymore?
The odd time I buy a cola drink it needs to be Coca Cola, or failing that some of those trendy small company ones are decent.

[Pen]

All sugar-free drinks are dog shit. Pepsi Max is probably the worst of them all though, not that it matters though as they're al so awful.

After a week you wouldn't go back. I drink 2 litres of the stuff a day so I can't afford to take in the full blown one anyway.

[Shindig]

I can't imagine drinking soft drinks to that degree. It's like I'm having tea at home or water at work. Also, this week I realised I liked crumpets a great deal.

[Offshore Toon]

I'll take squash over fizzy drinks any day of the week.

If you drink amounts like that I understand why you'd go for the sugar free one as eating sugar straight from the pack would probably be less harmful to your teeth. I have tried the sugar free ones many times (my grandad was diabetic, so he used to have the sugar free stuff at theirs all the time and as a kid Pepsi Max > nothing) but it just tastes wrong to me.

This is all I need in my life re fizzy drinks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SodaStream

[Giggles]

Used to have a soda stream when I was in my teens but they were some price when they relaunched them.

All "diet" fizzy drinks taste like fucking piss.

I've cut back big time on the piss lately so I can't recall

[Boydy]

Pepsi Max just tastes chemically sweetened to me. It's horrible.

Diet Coke's a bit better but still not great. Coke Zero actually kinda tastes like Coke. Although I try to avoid fizzy drinks more these days.

[igor_balis]

I love unadulterated coca cola and dr pepper, but I'll only have it once every 3 months or so.

[Giggles]

Dr P is the king. So hard pick up the diet one here though. Their museum tour is fun and you get shitloads free.

I'm happy just drinking water. My teeth and tongue much prefer it to anything brown and fizzy.

Two litres a day :D you fucking animal.

[Giggles]

Two litres a day :D you fucking animal.

Can vary with driving/number of piss stops too. You're supposed to get 2 litres of liquid a day anyway and apparently the litre of coffee doesn't count towards it.

That first swig from a cold bottle though :drool: I could never stop.

[Adamski]

It's two litres of water, not just an indeterminate liquid :D

[Giggles]

It's a close as I'm ever getting. Can't even remember the last time I drank water, vile stuff.

That 'something' happens to be the essential 'something' for survival. In any case, no need to get all puffed up.

[Offshore Toon]

Calling water vile is ridiculous, especially when you plow through 2 litres of Pepsi Max.

[Giggles]

It's been years and I'm still here. The survival thing maybe rings true in some alternate reality with no alternatives.

Now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever had Pepsi. Definitely not Pepsi Max.

And I also hope it sinks before you try and fuck it.

[Pepe]

Coke is far, far more popular in Mexico and the water over here is drinkable so no point in drinking soda ever.

[Spikey M]

You get it cheap off the Colombians tbf.

As if Mexico has drinkable water.

Over here = the U s of A. We don't drink the water from the tap in Mexico so when eating out sodas are the only choice sometimes.

[Pepe]

Trump: "Build the wall or no more coke"

They actually sell 'Mexican coke' over here which supposedly is made with realy sugar as opposed to high fructose corn syrup. Supposed to taste better.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's shit. Like syrup. Coke is miles better. I never drink either though.

[Adamski]

Nice one Giggles for fucks sake.

[Giggles]

:cool:

[Kikó]

I'm with Boydy. Pepsi tastes chemically enhanced other than the natural tasting coke.

[Boydy]

It's the sweet taste of it though. Coke and normal Pepsi just taste sugary. But Pepsi Max tastes like artificial sweeteners. You can really taste them. Whereas Coke Zero disguises it better.

[Lewis]

Yes, by tasting like watered-down Coke.

[Spammer]

Hope there's a hole in it.

Jesus Christ :D

Your seethe is palpable.

[Mike]

Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi give me headaches. Pepsi Max and Coke Zero I'm ok with, Coke Zero tastes better.
Proper Pepsi tastes better than Coke I think.

[Adamski]

Jesus Christ :D

Your seethe is palpable.

That was an extremely funny joke at your response Hammer, no more no less.

What do I have to seethe about exactly? You didn't say anything about me :)

[Lewis]

People have lost sight of the true meaning of SEETHING.

[Pen]

Lewis is clearly ON THE ROPES and SEETHING because of that.

[Giggles]

We're all seething.

[Spammer]

That understated SEETHE from Giggles there :drool:

[Giggles]

Sorry, were all SEETHING.

I'm double SEETHING right now because of that.

[Ian]

That's at least two thirds of the way to a MELTDOWN, Giggles. You mess.

QUADRUPLE SEETHE MELTDOWN.

Seeing seethers taking seethe back is truly empowering.

'Seething' is probably one of the worst things to happen to this place.

Seething.

It's like the term 'legend'. When applied properly it's absolutely bang on, however when it's constant and spurious it becomes hugely irritating.

A bit like you MJ bahahahaha!

[Giggles]

Boydy is SEETHING.

We've passed peak 'seethe', it's almost passe already.

Hammer.

It was Bruhnaldo, bless his precious little seething cottons.

You weren't around to witness Taz's complete mental collapse when I called him a homophobe in a WDYTOE, Spikey.

That was a full-blown MELTDOWN, not a SEETHE.

Taz. :******)

What a maggot.

Wonder if he's allowed out anymore.

[igor_balis]

Still reckon the phone call I took at an old temp job last year from a "Taz" in the "Milton Keynes Office" might have actually been him. Can't believe I bottled asking them.

[Giggles]

Someone hardly rang and introduced themselves as Taz did they?

George Monbiot in fine form there, warning against insulating yourself from reality whilst putting Donald Trump down to 4chan and its 'millions of members'.

I still don't really get 4chan, although their Warhammer stuff is good, if that's them.

I just made pancakes :)

[Disco]

Are you sure they aren't yorkshire puddings?

[Giggles]

I'd no bisto to go on them.

My mate's mum made us some this morning, with maple syrup and bacon. They were great, actually. Perfect hangover food.

Just went to dig up this thread and Jesus Christ, the state of some of the posts in here.

Anyway. Pancakes?

[Baz]

My house now has a waffle maker(?) so I presume I'll be having those instead, albeit made from "pancake mix."

[Giggles]

Pancake Thursday for me.

[Lewis]

Go on, Hammer. Continue telling me how seriously I take this place while you're in the midst of a low level psychotic event over being told that gravy is inappropriate on a pancake.

Probably the definitive TTH quote this.

[Ian]

Yeah I doubt I'll be arsed with pancakes tonight, to be fair.

Does remind me that I still need to try Stack & Still in Glasgow though.

[Spikey M]

Pancakes are shit.

[igor_balis]

I have no recollection of ever having maple syrup and bacon with pancakes. Weird. Maybe I made it up.

[Disco]

I'm having chicken salad.

Apart from that abomination of a lemon slice that's in shot.

The only good small thick pancakes come with an Ulster fry.

Oh be quiet, this was a thing before you even had a country.

[Spikey M]

The nicest thing I can say about pancakes is that they're edible . Otherwise, they're just a disappointing breakfast / dinner / dessert. Everyone knows it too, which is why no cunt bothers with them other than on 'pancake day'.

[Giggles]

[Spikey M]

However, If I have to have pancakes, then they had better be the thin type as posted up thread. That American / Scotch muck is far worse.

[Disco]

That's a poor effort.

I was being serious. That's where it did come from for every pancake day I remember growing up.
